At the production site of the "Southern Center for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair" (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, USC), the tanker "Astrakhan City" of project 630 was raised into a floating dock for repairs.
The vessel will be cleaned and painted, and metal structures will be replaced. Tests and repairs of bottom-board fittings, as well as anchor-mooring devices, are planned.
The single-deck, twin-screw tanker with a double bottom with a carrying capacity of 5000 tons is designed for the transportation of petroleum products of classes I and II with a specific gravity of 0.8 kg/m³ in river conditions, as well as petroleum products of classes III and IV, requiring heating.
Work on the tanker will be completed by the end of July.
